HALF-FULL REPORT 05/18/12

The news is getting so unrelentingly good it’s making me nervous.  Might as well revel in the good stuff before we talk about why.

Tuesday (5/15) was Sarah Palin Day in Nebraska.  Actually, it was Deb Fischer’s day, thanks to Sarah who had endorsed her US Senate candidacy just a week before.  She was an unknown underfinanced state senator given no chance to beat two prominent statewide officials, one of whom was the darling of the GOP establishment.

Then Mama Grizzly showed up, and Deb proceeded to win big.  Sarah exulted:

"As recently as a week ago, Deb Fischer was dismissed by the establishment. Why? Because she is not part of the good old boys’ permanent political class. The message from the people of Nebraska is simple and powerful: America is looking for real change in Washington, and commonsense conservatives like Deb Fischer represent that change. I applaud Moms like Deb Fischer who are bold enough to step up and run on a conservative platform to restore America and protect our children’s future. Congratulations to the people of Nebraska!"

Sarah showed seriously savvy smarts picking Deb Fischer.  Deb’s no quirky loser like Christine O’Donnell or Sharron Angle, as this story about her in leftie Politico attests.  A major Nebraska Dem is quoted:

"She’s smart, she’s tough. She can work, she’ll work it hard. She gets her bills through, she’s respected. She’s tea party, but she won’t say dumb things. I don’t think she’s always the nicest person, but she’s tough. I respect her."

Fischer now faces her Dem opponent Bob Kerrey in November (it’s an open seat with Sen. Ben Nelson retiring).  Although Kerrey was governor (a long time ago, 1983-1987) and senator (1989-2001), he’s lived in New York for the last dozen years and is no longer popular.  Rasmussen now has Deb with an 18 point (!) lead over Kerrey.

The news is even more enjoyable in Wisconsin, where the public unionistas and local Dems are spitting mad over the DNC (Dem national committee) refusing to waste a dime on the Walker recall.

Thus this headline in Commentary (5/15): Labor Headed for Wisconsin Catastrophe.  And not just in Badger-land. The entire public union moocher scam nationwide is going to suffer catastrophe with a Walker win.  As one Badger Dem whined bitterly:

"If he wins, he will turn his victory into a national referendum on his ideas about the middle class. It will hurt Democrats nationally. The fact that [national Dems] are sitting on their hands now is so frustrating. The whole ticket stands to lose."

How cool is that?

For a really good time, though, we go to North Carolina, where an incredible litany of woes for President Evolve is erupting.

The First Gay President thought he was oh so shrewd in choosing Charlotte to host the Dem Convention (Sept. 3-6).  He won the Tar Heel state in 2008 (just barely), and the convention there would show his commitment to campaigning throughout the South.  He forgot that North Carolina is a Right-To-Work state.

There’s nothing unions hate more than right-to-work (there’s not a single unionized hotel, for example, in Charlotte).  First they demanded the convention be moved to another state, which would guarantee NC going GOP in 2012.  So a number of them announced a boycott.  Yes, labor unions are boycotting the Democrat Convention.

On top of this, outraged by Tar Heel voters’ overwhelming rejection of homosexual marriage last week, homosexual groups all over the country are now also demanding the convention be moved.

Plus Dem Gov Beverly Perdue is so unpopular she’s resigning, the Dem state chairman is embroiled in a homosexual harassment scandal, Tar Heel unemployment is at 10%, and as of Wednesday (5/16), Rasmussen has Romney ahead of Zero 51-43.

No wonder the WaPo is saying North Carolina and the Charlotte Convention has turned into "a political migraine" for Zero and the Dems.

************

Next Tuesday (5/22), President Fighting On My Behalf may get an even bigger migraine in Arkansas.  The Dem primary is on that day, with Zero having an actual challenger (as opposed to a convict in a Texas prison to whom he lost 42% of the vote in West Virginia last week), a Tennessee lawyer named John Wolfe.  It’s going to be close – so close that Wolfe could actually win.

The BM ignored what happened in West Virginia, but they couldn’t ignore President Gutsy Call’s flat out losing to a non-goofy ABO candidate.  It would be a dangerous embarrassment for Zero the BM would have to cover.  And such coverage would give mega-publicity to Wolfe, who is on the ballot against Zero in the Texas Dem primary on May 29.

Now here’s the kicker:  both Arkansas and Texas hold open primaries.  Anyone can vote, not just Dems.  If Pubs come out in droves to put Wolfe over the top in Arkansas next Tuesday, Wolfe’s momentum could get hordes of Pubs to vote for him in Texas a week later.  So if you’re a Razorback or a Texican, get behind John Wolfe!

For weeks and weeks now, the HFR has been recounting the screw-ups and humiliations of Zero and his snafu’ed campaign.  This week, other folks starting counting them up. 

Over at AT, they’re talking about Why the Obama Campaign Is Blowing the Election. 

The Washington Times has begun predicting Obama’s Inevitable Shellacking, stating that "this president has almost no hope for re-election," because "every objective indicator foreshadows a huge re-election defeat" for him.

Breitbart’s headline is: Panic: Obama Campaign Already Coming Off The Rails, while Roger Simon at PJ Media asks:  Is Obama Imploding?

All of this coming all at once is just too wonderful – and that’s what makes me nervous. It’s not the "Caution! Be wary of overconfidence and hubris!" thing.  Right, good advice.  The problem is that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Maybe I’ve watched too many movies – since you know when things have been going right too long for the good guys, disaster always unfolds in the next scene.

I smell trouble coming – and I think it has a name:  Clinton.

The fear that Hillary would replace Biden on the Dem ticket is now gone, however.  We learned this week that Mrs. Zero would veto that in a heart-beat – because that’s what she did in 2008.

We learned this from author Ed Klein’s masterwork, The Amateur, released on Tuesday (5/15).  The book’s title comes from Klein’s recounting of a Clinton family and friends get-together last August at their home in Chappaqua, where Bill and Chelsea started bugging Hillary to run against Zero in 2012.

When she declines, Bill explodes: "Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s…he’s…Barack Obama’s an amateur!

Here’s the New York Post story, and look at how Klein paints Hillary in such a moral light: "What about loyalty, Bill? What about loyalty?" she responds to his entreaties.  The book is getting enormous press coverage.  It’s devastating for Zero.  This comes on top of the latest revelation of Zero’s narcissism on steroids:  inserting himself in the White House bios of past presidents.

And of course, Breitbart’s "Born in Kenya" blockbuster, which exploded yesterday (5/17), with all the desperate efforts of the Dems to debunk it having failed.

The Clintons could not possibly coordinate this deluge of destruction upon Zero’s campaign, but they are no doubt participating in it.

In the HFR of August 7, 2009, I said: "Hillary is positioning herself for 2012, as she’s figured out Zero is a one-termer." Further: that "Zero is LBJ redux," and the time will come when a delegation of top Dems "will sit down with Zero in the Oval Office and tell him he has to step down ‘for the good of the nation’."

Given Zero’s sociopathic ego, nothing may ever prompt him to quit.  Yet do not be surprised if Dem panic morphs into a call for Hillary to ride to the rescue.  And don’t be surprised if she answers the call.

Now, as you’re thinking the week can’t get more ludicrous for President Amateur, here comes the Moonbat Metrosexual of the New York Times, David Brooks, who, on Monday (5/14) explained why Zero is still polling at 48% approval.

No, it’s not because 48% of the electorate comprises the government-dependent Moocher Class. It’s because – get ready for it – of Zero’s "manliness," his "ESPN masculinity."  I kid you not. 

This is so excruciatingly hilarious because of Ed Klein’s story after story in The Amateur revealing how Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett boss Zero around with a ring through his nose and are the real powers in the White House.

There’s an expression that all men use for a guy like Zero:  pussy-whipped.  We’ll call him President PW for short.

************

An even more obnoxious Moonbat Metrosexual got his comeuppance this week:  Prissy Chrissy Matthews.

Matthews mocks Sarah Palin’s intelligence at every opportunity on his MSNBC Hardball broadcast.  Numerous times he’s made fun of how poorly he thinks she’d perform on the game show Jeopardy!.  Here’s an example:

"If she [Palin] were on Jeopardy! right now and the topic were government – American government generally defined – would she look like an imbecile or would she look okay? Does she know anything?"

On Monday (5/14), Matthews went on Jeopardy! himself – and showed himself to be a complete idiot. As Yahoo News put it, "he bombed." You’ll laugh your head off at his imbecilic answers.  Try this on.  When he picked the category "6-letter world capitals," the clue was "St. Basil’s Cathedral is there."  Matthews’ answer (always in the form of a question):  "What is Istanbul?"

Not only did the leftie clown not know it’s Moscow, Istanbul has 8 letters. The whole world is laughing at Prissy Chrissy now – and no one’s laughing louder than Sarah.

Always leave ‘em laughing, they say. Besides, we’ve had just too much fun this week.  Speaking of fun, we’re going to have an ocean of it at the Seascape Rendezvous just two weeks away. Plus now, there’s Dr. Joel’s Post-Rendezvous Workshop.  I sure hope to see you there.
